Tankless Water Heater Installation & Repair in the East Valley

A tankless water heater runs only when a tap is open, so you get hot water for as long as you need it and no tank keeping 50 gallons hot all day. Out here it needs annual descaling to live its full life. We install, repair and descale them, and we'll say if a tank is the better buy.

When to call

Signs it's time for tankless water heater repair & replacement.

Phoenix-area water is hard, and a tankless heat exchanger collects scale right on the parts doing the work. Skip the descaling and the flow drops, the error codes start, and a unit that should go 15 to 20 years is in trouble by year five.

The answer on tankless depends on your house. Gas line size, venting, how many showers run at once, and how long you plan to stay all move the math.

  • An error code on the display
  • Ignition that's hit or miss
  • Hot water that never quite reaches temperature
  • Longer wait for hot water than when it was new
  • Lower flow from the hot side than before
  • Over a year old and never descaled

How we do it

Diagnose first. Quote in writing. Then the work.

  1. 01 //

    Size it to the house

    Gallons per minute at your peak, gas supply, venting route, and where the condensate goes. Undersizing is the usual reason a tankless disappoints, and it's avoidable.

  2. 02 //

    Install and commission

    Gas line and venting upgrades where needed, permit pulled, unit set up and tested at every fixture before we leave.

  3. 03 //

    Descale yearly

    A flush through the heat exchanger once a year keeps the flow and efficiency where the manufacturer rated them. We do it, or we show you how.

Your options

The options, and which one we’d pick.

Tankless repair

Error codes, ignition and flow problems are usually scale, gas pressure or venting. Diagnosable and mostly repairable.

Annual descaling

The maintenance that decides whether the unit lasts. Pair it with a softener and it barely scales at all.

New tankless install

Whole-home or point-of-use, including conversions from a tank.

Our recommendation. If you're staying five-plus years and the gas and venting work isn't extreme, tankless usually wins on total cost. If you're selling in two years or the install needs a new gas run across the house, a good tank is the smarter spend. We'll run it both ways.

I own an older home, with older home problems. Matt came over and diagnosed the most important issues, without any upsale or pressure. He took the time to discuss things with no rush and then gave me an estimate that was a really fair! Mike came to do the work and he was awesome! He was super friendly and efficient and we are very impressed with the work and service as a whole. Yellowstone is definitely our new plumbing service and would highly recommend!!

We had an amazing experience with Yellowstone Plumbing & Drains on our outdoor kitchen project! From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, fast, reliable, and easy to work with. They made sure everything was done correctly, communicated clearly throughout the process, and paid close attention to every detail. Our outdoor kitchen turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the work.

How much does a tankless water heater cost installed?

$6,252–$8,027 on our last 9 installs (based on 9 installs). Most of the difference from a tank is the gas line, venting and condensate work. The water heater cost guide has the full breakdown.

Is tankless worth it in Arizona?

Often, if you're replacing anyway and staying put. Longer service life and endless hot water, more up front. The catch is maintenance: with our hard water it needs descaling every year or it won't reach that lifespan.

How often does a tankless need descaling here?

Once a year. With Phoenix-area water, skipping it is how a tankless dies early. A water softener upstream cuts the scale dramatically.

Can a tankless run a whole house?

Yes, when it's sized for your peak demand. Two showers and a dishwasher at once needs a bigger unit, or two units, than a one-bathroom home. Sizing is most of the job.

Do you repair tankless units or just replace them?

Repair first. Error codes, ignition failures and low flow are usually scale or a gas or venting issue. Call before you replace.
